Burger Patty

Toppings

Buns

Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated without overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Grill the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

    Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Once the patties are cooked and cheese is melted, remove them from the grill and place them on the bottom half of each burger bun.

  2. 7

    Top with Onion Rings

    Drizzle the BBQ sauce generously over the cheese-topped patties. Then, add a handful of onion rings on top of the sauce.

  3. 8

    Complete the Burger

    Place the top half of the bun on each burger to complete them. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
